The 1972 LPGA Championship was the 18th LPGA Championship, held June 8âÂÂ11 at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sutton, Massachusetts, southeast of Worcester.
Kathy Ahern shot a final round 69 (âÂÂ4) to win her only major title, six strokes ahead of runner-up Jane Blalock. Ahern began the final round with a one-stroke lead over three players; after five straight birdies on the front nine, she had a six-stroke lead and shot even par on the final nine.
Three weeks later, Ahern was a runner-up by a stroke at the U.S. Women's Open at Winged Foot, then won the week after at the George Washington Classic near Philadelphia.
